Mercedes Benz EQS Lease Superthread - 1

22 is done AFAIK. You are looking at 10% as a good discount for 23s. The ride is done for this month at least unless more trunk money is offered.

Walnut creek dealer, but as other ppl said they also reduced the discount in May. It’s $2k due at sign $700 plus tax now ($770-$790) from the sales. I guess still better than your quotes.

The residuals changed drastically for the month 4% - doesn’t look like any good deals coming in May.

You’re right. I meant 23s. I don’t think I saw many 18% either.

If someone can get 14% off a SUV, the 13 month programs don’t seem horrible

I am doing 12% on the 580 loaner, if that tells you something

Do all EQSs come with flimsy windshield wipers? Doesn’t seem like it’s as sturdy as it should be. Remember those days when Mercedes had one big wiper in the middle that could wipe anything you wanted to.

Mine is also flimsy - I thought there was something wrong, the movement is not smooth and makes noise.

Exactly this. My drivers side wiper “chatters” slightly . It really should be a nice clean pass on a new car. Not sure if it’s the wipers or windshield

And yes, I remember the one wiper blade in the middle on the w124s . One of the best cars I ever owned .

Leasing an EQE right now and rather disappointed with the amount of creaks/rattle that I can hear in the cabin. Seems like Mercedes cut a lot of corners for such an expensive vehicles, forgoing solid materials in favor of cheap plastics and “cool” RGB lights. This is in sharp contrast to my mothers’ 2023 RX450h where everything feels solid and well put together.

Still better than Tesla haha EQS seems to be fine with no rattles

Yea, rattles happened to me too. From the back of the driver seat lol

EQS rock solid for me

Thats why i always prefer and look for german produced car not just the brand. Eqe and others are built in sweet home Alabama

Is Alabama the new ‘made in China’ for EVs now?

I did not notice any rattles or squeaks in our EQE, unlike our current and precious Teslas. The wipers are definitely thin, but then they needed to lower the weight of the EVs. If we want to talk about compromises, sacrificing the look for aerodynamics is the biggest one. If only the EQs could ressemble the concept more closely people would be all over them.

My EQE is rock solid

This is a significant improvement to the benefit IMO. I had not received an app notification so I was wondering if this was rolling out to just a few folks or everyone.

I called Electrify America this afternoon and they confirmed that this is true. There will be no 30-minute charging limits between now and 10/31/23. You can charge for more than 30 minutes without cost. I didn’t confirm all the models this qualifies for but I did confirm my EQE350 qualifies.

If you have any concern, it may be worth it to charge for 31 minutes and see if you get charged a minimal amount for going over 30 minutes or of the 31st+ minute is credited as well.

Yours must have been built on a Wednesday.

It is honestly bad perk. This will encourage people to hog high speed chargers, when people really need them when traveling. I traveled from NJ to SC and back and 30 mins was always enough to charge to 80-86%.

I’m in management for a manufacturing company and laughed so freaking hard at that…it’s so true
